Well well well right when it looked like our penalty box was emptier than ever we had many visits with Brenda this past week.  Full moon???  Post Holiday stress syndrome???  Or just wanting to be close to Brenda…mmmmm.

Early game between the Habs and the Flyers.  22 minutes in penalties in this one and the game felt like a playoff match.  A late opening period goal by the Flyers was the only puck to get past McCallum or Ervin.  2nd period saw both squads score twice for a Flyer 3-2 lead with a period to go.  Both teams score twice each in the first 8 minutes of the 3rd but the Flyers would not relinquish the lead.  Flyers made it 6-4 with 5 minutes to go.  Flyers run into multiple penalties in the last 2 and a half minutes.  Habs pull their goalie for a 6 on 3 advantage and get one past McCallum to make it a 6-5 game with 90 ticks left on the clock.  A mad dash by the Habs but they could not tie it up and Flyers escape with a 6-5 victory.  Habs went 1-3 on the PP and Flyers were 0-1.  Many coincidental penalties in this one and boys a reminder swinging your sticks at each other will not be tolerated we all need to get up in the morning and go to work.  Habs get 2 goals each from Steve Kostick and Rukavina and a single from Peacock who had a light breakfast on Friday but was planning a big breakfast Saturday morning.  Flyers get 4 goals from the Italian stallion Diluzio and singles from McCormick and Robb.  Players of the game went to Habs #20 Steve Kostick and Flyers #18 Marcelo Diluzio.

Late game between the Oilers and the Bruins.  10 minutes in the time out box in this one.  3-1 for the Oilers after the opening frame.  Both teams score single goals in the 2nd period.  It was all Oilers in this one as they score the lone 2 goals in the final frame taking this one 6-2.  Bruins went 0-2 on the PP and Oilers were 0-1.  Bruins got goals from Flumerfelt and Wright.  Oilers got 2 goals each from Brideau and Maguire and singles from Leenaars and Nelson.  Thats 3 big guys and one little guy.  Players of the Game went to Bruins #44 John Annan and Oilers #7 Jim Maguire who just so happened to score his 201st and 202nd career goals.  Nice as he becomes the 5th Oldtimer to join the 200 club.

Now that the fill moon is gone lets get back to being nice again lads.

This week games on January 29 are as follows, 9:15 Montreal will face off against the Oilers and 10:30 a big ass showdown as the Islanders and Flyers square off to see who will capture top seed.  Boston gets the week off.

Sounds like our first Superbowl squares has sold out and Mark has started a second one, nice, so he will be around this week and next before the big game on February 7th.  We will draw the numbers for the AFC and NFC of the first sheet this weekend and send them out to all of you so you know which numbers you have.

Cheers
